I'm using the Test Studio 2013.1 plugin for Visual Studio 2012.
I've successfully managed to record and run a number of tests, but trying to add a coded test step has resulted in my project failing to build, with the error:
The type or namespace name 'Pages' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I've checked that the Pages.g.cs file has been included in my test project, and that the file is being generated from time to time.
I've also checked the namespace used in the Pages.g.cs file matches the namespace of the test project, which it does.

Having searched your forums and the web, I see this is a long standing, recurring issue.
I hope you have a robust solution to this issue available.

Thank you,
Gavin

Although Pages.g.cs was visible in my Visual Studio project, it wasn't actually "included" in my project. 
Having manually included Pages.g.cs in my Visual Studio project, the code compiles correctly.

Please resolve your bugs. This is an issue that has been affecting your Test Studio product for at least the past three years, as shown by a search of your forums!

Hi,
after I inserted a coded step in my standalone test I received the same error "The type or namespace name 'Pages' could not be found".
Copying all test steps (except the coded one) into a new test helped to make the test runnable again - but at last I needed a coded step.
I checked the fully qualified .cs file in error message and found that this was related to an old test I had already removed some time before. So I renamed the .cs file to .cs_old and .. this worked. Now the test could be successfully compiled.
Maybe this will help you bugfixing, too.
Kind Regards
Jost

Hey Telerik Team,

I am having a similar issue, but I have placed my dlls in the root project folder, and it still says "The type or namespace name . .. ." This only occurs when I am trying to run my lists via ArtOfTest.Runner.exe. My test list runs correctly locally and remotely, but when I use ArtOfTest.Runner.exe it cannot find my 3rd party libraries.

Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Kelly
